        Just like Taffr`s Rothmans car ,looks the part even if its not 100% original.
        Darrell (not Darren) has a lot of good repro works parts and will offer plenty of pish taking to go with them.

          Nice choice Alan, simple livery but very effective at the same time, will watch your build closely when does it commence ?

              OK,,, First question on many,,

              Did the roll gage fitted to cars of this period have a single or double diagonal on the rear cage ? also were they fitted with door bars

                Panhard tower and bars
                Big gearbox tunnel
                Big diff tunnel
                Full fire wall
                Upright round turrets
                Full shell strengthening kit fitted

                After the shell was sorted it was given a quick blow over to highlight any imperfections and then it will have another coat of light blue primer

                    No - too both, didn't even need a diagonal for rally !

                    But then you could also have alloy cages back in the day !

                          The back mounting on a "REAL" Group 4 Escorts are like drawing 20.
